There are plans on turning the Image Comics series Cowboy Ninja Viking into a feature film.
Deadline reports that Disney has snapped the screen rights to the title by writer AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo and have hired Deadpool screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese to adapt it for the screen.
Wernick and Reese will also produce the film along with Mark Gordon (Saving Private Ryan) and Management 360.
The comic follows an assassin with Multiple Personality Disorder who is the product of a psychotherapist's experiment to produce a squad of counter-intelligence agents dubbed Triplets. The first issues followed Cowboy Viking Ninja, the deadliest of all the Triplets, as he tried to take down his brethren who have spiraled out of control.
I can't comment because I never heard of this comic series before, let alone read it. *shrug*
